Dear President Obama,
Thank you, thank you, for taking action to regulate gun
sales! You have made my day. Please continue your efforts in this
important, "heart and soul" issue.
Let's observe the intersection of mental health and gun
violence is occurring when angry males pick up a convenient firearm to "do
something", when they are feeling vulnerable, frustrated, and
miserable. We condone this behavior
because men are allowed and often encouraged to act upon their rage. As a community, we need to understand the
roots of these dark, miserable impulses and address them with health services,
friendship, support, and encouragement for all members of society to speak up
when anger, frustration, and rage becomes dominant themes in their households. It's not healthy. We need to move the needle away from
accepting this stuff.
Kind regards,
